SHOVEL KNIGHT DIGS IN!

Shovel Knight from the Shovel Knight Series!

Shovel Knight is a main protagonist of the series with a same name. He is a chivalrous knight who wears his light, shining blue armor, and
his mission is to stop the Enchantress and find his lost love Shield Knight. He uses his Shovel Blade and the Relics to aid him in his journey,
and solves many challenging puzzles, going from lair to lair of the Order of No Quarter, showing his great intelligence and strength. 
Shovel Knight is a shining example of the code of Shovelry: Slash Mercilessly and Dig Tirelessly!
